i just wanted to show that this game is based on realy old technology and the developers have to give the game some love/time/fixing. Specialy the Lara Modell...
What the f*** are you talking about? This game looks exceptionally awesome!
I also don't know why you guys are having those black bars. I've got the full version and the game looks damn good at 1680*1050. Here are some screenshots links:

I'm getting fairly contant 60 frames per second at 1680*1050 on my system in "normal" mode (AA turned off - with AA on it's slightly lower). "Next gen" mode gives me an unplayable 12-20. I guess you need a state-of-the-art card to play it on "next gen" mode. Note that the "normal" mode still looks very nice. "Next gen" has loads of fancy shader, lighting and bumpmapping effects, and some textures (such as water) look a lot funkier in that mode, but if you've got a 6800GT like me, you can definitely enjoy this game in widescreen glory!
